Rice Lake Weighing SURVIVOR® ATV All-Terrain Portable Vehicle
Scale
Fully electronic,
the portable SURVIVOR® ATV vehicle scale is designed for heavy-duty
weighing in virtually any location a permanent installation isnt
practical. Our patented G-Force mounting systems self-checking
design controls loading forces, allowing faster processing and extending
component life.
The ATV is a more
compact steel deck design engineered for portability and movement
from job to job. Our self-setting hinge-like connectors make for easy
break down and reassembly, and an overall low profile keeps approaches
low and gradual. But the ATV wouldn't be a SURVIVOR if it didn't have
our trademark heavy duty construction. It's tightly spaced wide flange
i-beams and rigid construction are classic Rice Lake.
Versatile and
cost-effective, the RLWS ATVs self-contained live modules and
floating center modules make it easy to add or remove sections to
fit your application requirements.
The ATV Heavy-Duty
Top Access Portable features top access to load cells, self-seating
hinge connectors, and dedicated transient protection components in
each J-box greatly simplifying installation and routine maintenance.
The ATV also incorporates
an exclusive lock-out system that removes all weight from the load
cells, suspending the deck free of links to avoid damage to electronics
while transporting the scale.
The ATV-SR Super
Duty Siderail Portable is ideal for weighing tri- and quad-axle dump
trucks in pits and quarries. The siderail design features side access
to load cells and electronics.
Standard bulkheads
are heavily braced for high-compression backfilling with gravel or
aggregate. In semi-permanent applications, choose from optional steel
ramps or bulkheads for concrete approaches.
The ATV is rigidly
constructed for heavy-duty weighing, yet lightweight and compact for
convenient portability. The preassembled modules (available in lengths
from 10 30 ft.) and unique self-seating hinge connectors provide
easy installation, expansion and relocation for your growing business.
The ATV boasts more steel, the strongest weighbridge and higher quality
construction for long-lasting durability and performance. Standard
end-cleanout eases debris removal to help maintain scale accuracy.
SURVIVOR ATV Series
truck scales are designed to accommodate up to 250 trucks per day
for 25 years without weighbridge fatigue. This is equivalent to more
than 2 million weighments.
Each
load cell has an individual capacity of 75,000 pounds, compared to
only 50,000 pounds on many competitive models. Higher capacity load
cells handle heavier loads with far fewer failures. Wire-braided copper
transient bypass cables are provided at each load cell mount for individual
load cell protection from direct lightning strikes to the scale or
weighbridge.
All Rice Lake
truck scales are equipped with RLWS patented G-Force self-checking
mount system. With the G-force design, there are no bumper bolts to
work loose, or check rods to bind the scale. Excess movement and scale
wear are eliminated by turning 100% of the gravity force from the
loading action against itself, instantly returning the scale to dead
center without check rods and bumper bolts.
